Efficacy of pillar implants to reduce snoring and daytime sleepiness

To measure the efficacy of pillar implants in reducing snoring. A total of 30 adult patients who underwent pillar implants were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the implantation. Improvement was measured using snoring frequency, visual analog scale for snoring loudness, and...

This is a study of 30 adult patients who underwent pillar implants for treating socially unacceptable snoring and, to a lesser extent, daytime sleepiness. We found that snoring frequency and loudness significantly improved at 1 month after the operation and that the improvement persisted until the end of the follow-up visits. Daytime sleepiness improvement was subjective at 1 month but statistically significant at 12 months postoperatively (p &lt; 0.01). We conclude that the pillar implant technique leads to a significant reduction in snoring and daytime sleepiness, thus improving patients’ quality of life. It has very low morbidity.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2056-5623</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2056-5623</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.2144/fsoa-2021-0020</identifier><identifier>PMID: 34046203</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Future Science Ltd</publisher><subject>daytime sleepiness ; ESS ; pillar implants ; snoring ; VAS</subject><ispartof>Future science OA, 2021-07, Vol.7 (6), p.FSO701-FSO701</ispartof><rights>2021 Laith Khasawneh</rights><rights>2021 Laith Khasawneh.</rights><rights>2021 Laith Khasawneh 2021</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c507t-2baf1515a66cde9dfc5e720bb8c8d8863d1048d8570b0938f6883ec5a520e03c3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c507t-2baf1515a66cde9dfc5e720bb8c8d8863d1048d8570b0938f6883ec5a520e03c3</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-5148-7600 ; 0000-0001-7368-0404 ; 0000-0003-2160-4498 ; 0000-0002-6531-5164 ; 0000-0002-8242-1487 ; 0000-0001-7361-8096 ; 0000-0002-3245-8847 ; 0000-0003-4713-8536 ; 0000-0003-4504-4472</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8147739/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8147739/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,727,780,784,885,27924,27925,53791,53793</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34046203$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Khasawneh, Laith</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Odat, Haitham</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Khassawneh, Basheer Y</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kheirallah, Khalid A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Khassawneh, Adi H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Omari, Ahmad Al</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Smadi, Maisa</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Alzoubi, Firas</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Alomari, Safwan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Al-Mistarehi, Abdel-Hameed</creatorcontrib><title>Efficacy of pillar implants to reduce snoring and daytime sleepiness</title><title>Future science OA</title><addtitle>Future Sci OA</addtitle><description>To measure the efficacy of pillar implants in reducing snoring.
